Chemicle Incarceration- Efficiant prisons

In the nation of the Empire of maktaala, we have for years been using chemicle incarceration to detane the more troublesome prisoners. as a result we need far less guards and far less maintenance of our prison facilities.
Our form of chemicle incarceration consists of different methods depending on the individual subject, sometimes it is simply a paralytic agent released into the patient's body, this allows them to be fully aware of what is happening around them but keeping them from escaping or causing trouble with the guards or other inmates(for their own protection they are kept in a tier ressembling our hospitals)
Another method for those with stronger immune systems or who react badly with the paralytic method, we simply induce a coma using a completely different chemicle. we can easily bring the subject out of this coma but cutting the supply of this chemicle.
As a result of these two methods, our prisons are much more efficiantly run. murders or other related unpleasentness in our prisons rarely happen. and above all, we no longer have to worry about executing people who could theoreticly have been mistaken for a criminal in a given crime(which over all makes our politicians much happier)
Also, while the subjects are unconcious they cannot keep themselves destracted by harrassing the personel or inmates at their prisons and therefor, only have their past to reflect on, essentialy forcing them to either come up with something else, or think about what they've done.
obviously we send them through a psychiatric evaluation before, at several points during, and after their incarceration so we know weather or not they did damage to themselves during their experiance(some have been known to drive themselves insane by fixating on things for several years straight)
So please, we would like the input of other nations regarding this system, what do you see wrong with it, moral or technical, do you have a supirior system(not consisting of mind control, slave labour, or other ludicrus concepts, I want modern reasonable answers)
and, yes I do realize that this simply swaps some of the criminals for mental patients during their stay but its a liability we thought was "the lesser of the two evils"

Why imprison them?
They won't commit crimes if they're too scared to commit them.
I recommend a decent deterrent, like death by slow burning to be applied to selected crimes of your choosing.

The Peoples Anthill applauds and commends the forward-thinking and rational actions of Maktaala, and cites its intelligent and creative methods of control as an excellent model for other social bodies. We must all continue forward progress towards social stability. The Peoples Anthill suggests that the Maktaala social body research a means to dispense mind-altering chemicals airborne in an attempt to help pacify and reinforce the loyalty of masses. Know that the Peoples Anthill will fully support any research on massed thought-control technologies of any kinds.

The Peoples Anthill again congratulates the excellent foresight of Maktaala in implementing this innovative form of social control, and looks forward to future good relations.

In hopes of a better tomorrow,
The LEADER,
The Peoples Anthill

OOC: I think some form of ankle bracelets are used to keep track of prisoner movements - although this might be for those on probation and not restricted to a prison environment.

The Maktaalan goverment is built on the concept of opposition, pacification of those who are not an actualy a threat to the nation or the people goes against our principles, though the concept may be usefully applied to our old nano-phage viral agent we used to be working on many years ago. I thank you for the suggestion, however we are not willing to control the minds of our populace, it makes them uncreative and rather dumb.
